Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Su Jin’s New Skill

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yunguo used to be a chef at a restaurant. Although it had been a small establishment, his food was still delicious to eat and wonderful to behold. The entire family loved eating his cooking.

Li Xiuying noted that it was a shame they did not have her signature soups to go with the meal, though.

Everyone froze for two seconds in the middle of shoveling food into their mouths and exchanged looks. Su Jin laughed so hard that she leaned on Lu Hao’s shoulder, trembling.

Lin Yunguo was trying to hold back his laughter too, constantly telling the others, “Go on, eat more. Have as much as you want.”

“Dad, your cooking is as wonderful as ever. Why didn’t Tianzhen inherit your skills?” Mao Zhihang put some food into Mao Qiqi’s plate as he ate. Furious, Lin Tianzhen smacked his head with her chopsticks. “Don’t talk with your mouth full, especially if you have nothing good to say.”

“Sigh, sorry about my sister just now. Just forget about her, I misjudged her before. It’s probably best if we go no-contact with her from now on.” Su Xiangzhe took a sip of his wine, put down his glass, and sighed. She badmouthed everyone, sure, but this time she had turned her sights to his daughter and son-in-law. In fact, she made it obvious that she would have loved it if Lu Hao was having an affair.

“Don’t blame yourself too much, Dad. We know what she’s like now, so we just gotta be warier of her.” Su Jin comforted Su Xiangzhe. In any case, she never thought of Su Xiangmei as one of her own.

Su Jin remembered an interview with a successful businessman she had read somewhere. The man said that not all of your relatives necessarily had your best interests at heart. Some of them would love to see you crash and burn. To Su Jin, Su Xiangmei was precisely that kind of relative, so they should be careful around her from now on.

After the meal, the whole family was satiated and satisfied. Lin Yunguo looked at the empty plates on the table with pride. Nothing made a chef as happy as empty dishes, since they were proof of his skills.

Now that they were full, everyone lounged on the couches scrolling through their phones. What were they doing on the phones? Buying more things, of course. Even the men purchasing things because Su Jin made it clear that they should buy whatever they wanted right now. They would not get the chance later.

“What do you want, Lu Hao? I’ll buy it for you.” Su Jin shimmied up to Lu Hao and asked him. After all, all of his money was in her hands now too, so it was only natural for her to buy things for him.

Lu Hao thought it over then shook his head. What did he want? Her, of course, and nothing else.

“Alright, alright. I’ll decide for you then. Don’t worry, your satisfaction is guaranteed.”

“Yeah. I’ll like anything you buy for me.”

Lu Hao always had a way, Su Jin thought, of saying things that made her heart pound with a straight face. Blushing, she went to an online shopping portal and bought some male toiletries, such as facial wash and body lotion. Hmm, might as well buy some briefs as well. What was Lu Hao’s size, though?

“Lil Jin, if you and Lu Hao have time, you should help us put our house up for sale at the agency too.” Lin Tianhui sat next to Su Jin. She had talked it over with Su Xiangzhe, and there was no time for reluctance anymore.

“Sure, we’ll drop by the agency later.” Su Jin figured that the sooner they put the houses up for sale, the sooner they could be sold.

“Our house too, Su Jin. We want to sell as well.” Lin Tianzhen ran over to them too.

That afternoon, Su Jin and Lu Hao went to another two property agencies. After all, if they used the same agency for all three houses, they might arouse suspicions. Lu Hao was the one who suggested that they go to different places to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Once they returned home, Su Jin collapsed onto the couch with a plop. She felt as though they had done way too many things in that one day, but at least they had the fruits of their efforts to show for it.

“Lu Hao, shall we go inside to rest?” Su Jin looked at Lu Hao, her eyes sparkling.

“Yeah, let’s go together.” Lu Hao caressed her chin and teleported into the dimension together with Su Jin.

There were a few fruit tree saplings, Su Jin’s potted plants, and a few bags of seeds on the stone platform.

Su Jin used her mind to move them into Lu Mansion.

“If only you could take things out of the dimension like I can,” Su Jin muttered.

They had tried that before, but it seemed that only the owner of the dimension, Su Jin, could move things in and out of here.

“There’s no reason for me to. It’s good enough that you can do it,” Lu Hao said as he walked.

He was right, Su Jin realized. If anyone who made a contract with the jade tablet could take things out of the dimension as they liked, everything would be in utter chaos. It would not be safe either, since all of them would be in trouble should one person accidentally expose the dimension to outsiders.

The two of them arrived at Lu Mansion. Looking at the seeds and saplings in front of her, Su Jin decided to start by trying to sow the seeds with her mind.

She gave it a shot, and it actually worked! She could actually scatter the seeds into the field one by one. It was such a convenient and energy-saving ability too, since it would take the two of them ages to sow all those fields.

Still, they had to manually plant the saplings. Su Jin could transport the trees over with her will, but she could not bury the roots properly.

Lu Hao told Su Jin to rest while he went to plant the trees himself.

“Aww, you’re the best. Mwah!”

Perfect, she was planning to test her special ability out on these potted plants anyway.
